Comics & Ballads

Feels like we're just back to site after an eternally long ten day training in Marrakesh and already anticipating this weekend's arrival of my mom and dad. We've got pretty big fish to fry, but wanted to share two personal highlights from the training.

The first is a comic Britt drew -her response to Peace Corps' call for everyone to make a little one-page update on their service so far.



My wife draws comics. No one's luckier than me.


The second is a song we performed during the training. Our friend Leah wrote song lyrics about the nightmare of applying for your legal status in Morocco -obtaining a document called the Carte de Séjour- and sent them to me to take a pass and write some music. The song is one long inside joke, but we had a lot of fun playing it. I played guitar and sang and Britt and Leah accompanied with backing vocals, and harmonica and homemade corn shaker, respectively (and awesome Beau held the mic and lyrics and awesome Kara took really nice-looking video). 

That's right: it's the world premiere of Britt Luby, harmonica player, and our first public performance since the "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" duet. Enjoy!
